Flip Your (foam) Wig!
I love Halloween. Part of the fun for me has always been figuring out what I was going to be, then rummaging through the dress up box as a kid to create my costume.
Increasingly I see so many people buying a costume in a bag & no originality... makes me sad!
Until today.
I had the opportunity to see Chris March's line of costume wigs for Target today. I think they're refreshing in a world that has become overloaded with a flood of licensed character merchandise.
They're a bit small on my medium sized head, but I think they're a good inspiration point.
Part of what I love about them is that they are definitely archetypes, and they also invite people to create their own character. I have some green foam laying around somewhere.. I'm sure I can come up with something.

Reboot in 3... 2.... 1....
Goodness I've been gone a long time!
Well, what goes around comes around., I suppose.
The most exciting thing I have to share right now is that I am both production designer and costume designer for a movie named "Nathan's Kingdom". This short video from our Indiegogo campaign (now ended) has a sneak peak. This hero's journey is unique in many respects. Artwork plays a large role.. combining live action, CGI and animation.
This week I'm in the process of designing characters and environments for the animation sequence. Something totally new for me! Never be afraid to try something new... it awakens other talents that may have been sleeping.

Today's oh my!
This is a Regine cabaret dress.. you can read more about Regine & her cabarets here: http://nymag.com/nymetro/nightlife/barsclubs/features/883/ I wish I could have found a photo of Regine herself... she must be/have been something!
Finally, I say Oooooo!
Fashion weeks haven't been particularly inspirational for me, this round. until now, that is.. check out the work of Amaya Arzuaga http://us.fashionmag.com/photos/photo.php?id_event=699435&id_photo&page=1 (Some people have told me you need to subscribe in order to see the photos. This site is free, and I haven't gotten bad mail from subscribing)
I love her nods to historical fashions, and the origami & architectural influences. I could see these runway looks translating into ready to wear in some pretty interesting ways!
